Govt lifts Bible impound


PETALING JAYA: The Government has decided to release the 35,000 copies of the Bible which we reimpounded at Port Klang and Kuching Port when they were imported from Indonesia.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Idris Jala said the release was in line with the 1982 gazette under the Internal Security Act, which allows limited and controlled importation and circulation of Bibles in Bahasa Malaysia, which must be stamped “For Christians Only”.
